DAVIDW 1,674 Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 "Wotcher cock" sounds like Cockney slang but according to this site it comes from before that , as far back as the 13th Century and is an abbreviation for the greeting "What Cheer " or "How goes it ? " (mate) . http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/wotcher.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 If we used the answer "I Thought" The reply from MaM or Dad would be.."You Know What Thought did?" I never did know,Well, I just looked it up and there are many answers eg....Followed a muck cart and thought it was a wedding, but the answer that sounds probable is....Never to say "I thought" But go and make sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
